Large Collection of Dutch Delft Blue and White Collectables
This lot is a large collection of Dutch Delft blue and white collectables, offered as one group and including a number of tankards. The pieces show the traditional blue and white decoration associated with Delft-style ceramics, with the tankards and steins decorated with windmills, landscapes and floral motifs. Other items in the group include a cow-form creamer, a teapot with floral decoration, jugs, vases, bowls, small windmill ornaments, and figural pieces depicting Dutch figures in traditional costume. Several pieces bear printed or painted inscriptions, including one tankard reading “Heineken” and a vase reading “Gouda”. The range of forms makes this lot suitable for display or for building a themed Delft collection.
Lot Description and Collector Interest
The condition of each piece has not been individually assessed, and buyers should view the lot in person or request further images before bidding. The group is offered as seen, and any chips, cracks, restoration or wear should be checked for individual items. The variety of tankards, figures, windmills and decorative wares gives collectors of Dutch Delft and blue and white ceramics a broad selection in one purchase. This lot will appeal to those seeking souvenir pieces from the Netherlands, decorative items for a kitchen or dresser, or a foundation for a larger collection.
